Welcome to Advanced Maritime Technology
Welcome to the newly launched Advanced Maritime Technology, debuting at the RAI, Amsterdam in June 2026. This expanded, future‑focused event unites the former Electric & Hybrid Marine and Autonomous Ship events into one collaborative platform shaped directly by attendee feedback and the accelerating pace of technological change across the sector.
The new format provides deeper insight, clearer structure, and more opportunities for meaningful discussion than ever before.
To ensure every critical topic receives the attention it deserves, the event now features four dedicated, co‑located conference streams, each reflecting one of the core pillars of the modern maritime landscape. These pillars don’t just define the conference content, they also inform the themes, technologies, and innovations showcased across the entire exhibition floor.
Designed entirely around the industry’s needs, the 2026 edition introduces a significantly expanded programme of panel discussions, shines a brighter spotlight on rapidly growing areas such as infrastructure, regulation, and finance, and presents a pragmatic approach to automation, prioritizing technologies that deliver immediate, real‑world benefits.
Advanced Maritime Technology offers the most relevant, insightful and comprehensive environment for maritime professionals, uniting the full smart‑ship ecosystem across both conference and expo for the first time.
Join us at RAI Amsterdam this June for the most important opportunity to connect, discuss, and progress your business.
Four pillars of an evolving maritime landscape
Electrification & hybridization
As vessels increase in size and operational demand, this stream focuses on the next generation of propulsion technologies. It explores advances in batteries, fuel cells, onboard power distribution, alternative fuels, and new hull and propulsion system designs that enable cleaner, more efficient operation. Positioned as the evolution of the core Electric & Hybrid Marine program, this stream is tailored for shipyards, system integrators, and technology suppliers seeking deep technical insight and real‑world engineering applications.
Autonomy & automation
Reflecting the industry’s shift from long‑term MASS ambitions to practical, deployable solutions, this stream examines the wider automation landscape: remote operation, shore control, AI‑driven decision support, cybersecurity, and data‑led maintenance strategies. It provides a clear view of how automation can deliver measurable operational efficiencies today. Built from the Autonomous Ship conference’s strongest foundations, it speaks directly to shipowners and operators, technology suppliers, integrators, and research organisations shaping near‑term digital transformation.
Infrastructure
As ports adapt to electrification and alternative fuels, this stream addresses the systems and planning required to build resilient future‑ready infrastructure. Topics include port‑side and offshore charging, grid capacity planning, demand management, and the development of alternative‑fuel bunkering networks. Originating from what was once a single, oversubscribed session, this new stream meets growing demand from port authorities, terminal operators, utilities, grid operators, and local government stakeholders who are driving the shore‑side energy transition.
Regulation, business & finance
With regulatory deadlines approaching and investment complexity increasing, this stream provides strategic clarity for decision-makers navigating compliance, transition planning, and funding pathways. Discussions cover upcoming IMO and regional regulations, liability considerations, project finance, grants, and long‑term business risk and opportunity. Created to deliver the depth previously missing from technical conferences, this stream is designed for C‑suite leaders, shipowners, financiers, classification societies, and regulators steering organisational strategy.
A global hub of expertise
Advanced Maritime Technology brings together the full breadth of stakeholders shaping the future of maritime innovation, delivering unparalleled access to technical insight, strategic guidance, and real‑world operational expertise. With four deeply focused conference streams, reflected in the technologies across the expo floor, expanded discussion formats, and a programme built directly around industry needs, the 2026 event provides professionals with the clarity, context, and connections required to navigate a rapidly shifting landscape.
A defined business case
For innovators, integrators, service providers, and emerging technology companies, Advanced Maritime Technology offers a uniquely targeted platform to meet decision‑makers actively driving fleet transformation, digitalization, infrastructure development, and regulatory compliance. Whether you are exploring new technologies or bringing them to market, Advanced Maritime Technology provides the visibility, engagement, and commercial opportunity to build partnerships and accelerate growth.
